I have been a long time reader of Kiran’s blog and love the way she writes. Be it humour or the social causes she takes up. She has her own distinct way of describing everything, a way that keeps you hooked to reading from the starting of the post till the end… The way she changes hat between the loving mumma to the brat, the dedicated person running India Helps, being the fashionista at her yet another blog and ofcourse making us smile and laugh at ThirtySixForty and counting is amazing. Super Woman Kiran Manral😉

I finally had a chance to meet her last year sometime during Feb when we went for the Lavasa trip and one of the biggest highlight of the trip was meeting her and chatting away to glory as long last friends naa make that soul sisters🙂 We chatted about everything under the sun from handbags to men (wink wink), to mils to kids, from bloggers to twitter folks, it seemed that full 2 days weren’t enough for the things we needed to speak about

So when she announced her book (seems like ages ago though😉 ) the excited wait began and when I received it two days ago, my excitement was beyond control.. the book I was reading already was ditched and to N’s horror surprise a baking order was ignored because I couldn’t put the book down😛 Eventually N put some sense into my head (read screamed at me to get baking he he) and hence I haven’t been able to finish the book as of yet. But soon I will be back with a review but till now it feels exciting, gripping and funny as I thought it will be…

After all any book which starts with a struggle of what to wear to a party and how its a struggle to keep the nail polish from not smudging has to be interesting anyways😉 and yeah did I mention some handsome men and two murders

I will be back with my review till such time here is how u can grab your copy from any of the below links depending of whether you have a favorite or you want to go for the cheapest which BTW is infibeam😉

I am an ardent tea lover, as far as I am concerned there is always tea time somewhere in the world and hence the question would you like some tea has only one answer - yes. So when Tea Monk Global invited for me a tea tasting session in their office, I was happy to make the trek from Whitefield to Areke and if you know Bangalore you know that it is a HUGE de […]

I have been having a mad month, it feels like the last month of the year which is supposed to be full with happiness and cheer, which is meant for celebrations and partying seems like a month which has engulfed me with work, work from all directions. Consulting, recipe design and everything else I do seems to descend on me together. And among this load of wo […]

You can never have enough brownies in life. For me, they’re the most fulfilling thing to bake. The simple yet irreplaceable taste of a brownie will always be my favouritest (I know that’s not even a word but brownies make me go mad :D so sue me). Here are some brilliant takes on the ever popular regular brownie - Try and make some tonight - It’s National Bro […]

What we love to do best for occasions like anniversaries and birthdays is typically travel. Make a short or a long trip depending on the time we have had on hand. Be it a short road trip or a longish trip but holiday is what we think first when we think celebrations. Yes we are weird like that. But this time during our anniversary we both were loaded with wo […]
